Second chance

 Give them a second chance -

that's how you'll know if they've

changed or not.

At least, right? If they cheat again,

you won't regret it because you

already gave them a chance.

Sometimes people truly do grow, reflect, and become accountable for the pain they caused. But other times, the second chance only teaches someone that forgiveness will always be available no matter how badly they hurt you.

Real change is not words, tears, apologies, or temporary effort. It is consistency over time, honesty without pressure, and actions that no longer resemble the person who betrayed you before.

And if they repeat the same behavior, at least you will stop blaming yourself for not trying hard enough.
